Thread: Today's poet

    Re: Today's poet

    Mmmm one of those days....cue the PLATH!!!!!!!

    Admonition

    If you dissect a bird
    To diagram the tongue
    You'll cut the chord
    Articulating song.

    If you flay a beast
    To marvel at the mane
    You'll wreck the rest
    From which the fur began.

    If you pluck out the heart
    To find what makes it move,
    You'll halt the clock
    That syncopates our love.

    Good choice freckle. I had a "bad car" day but it sounds like your day was much worse than mine.

    Re: Today's poet

    A poem about good old fashioned trust.

    Trust

    Oh we’ve got to trust
    one another again
    in some essentials.

    Not the narrow little
    bargaining trust
    that says: I’m for you
    if you’ll be for me. -

    But a bigger trust,
    a trust of the sun
    that does not bother
    about moth and rust,
    and we see it shining
    in one another.

    Oh don’t you trust me,
    don’t burden me
    with your life and affairs; don’t
    thrust me
    into your cares.

    But I think you may trust
    the sun in me
    that glows with just
    as much glow as you see
    in me, and no more.

    But if it warms
    your heart’s quick core
    why then trust it, it forms
    one faithfulness more.

    And be, oh be
    a sun to me,
    not a weary, insistent
    personality

    but a sun that shines
    and goes dark, but shines
    again and entwines
    with the sunshine in me

    till we both of us
    are more glorious
    and more sunny.

    D. H. Lawrence

    Doctor O'Dell
    Fell down a well
    A broke his collar bone
    But Doctor's should attend the sick
    And leave the well alone

    Now there's a thing. There hasn't been all that much Spike Milligan on this thread. Definately plenty of more good ones to choose from.

    I must go down to the sea again

    I must go down to the sea again,
    to the lonely sea and the sky;
    I left my shoes and socks there -
    I wonder if they're dry?

    There Are Holes In The Sky

    There are holes in the sky
    Where the rain gets in
    But there ever so small
    That's why the rain is thin.

    Who's who

    I used to think nurses
    Were women,
    I used to think police
    Were men,
    I used to think poets
    Were boring,
    Until I became one of them.
